This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 368 Surrender
2 month 8 day.

It was Li Fei’s seventh day in Xingcheng.

During these seven days, he dealt with a lot of things:
Determine the relevant matters of the Marquis' Mansion.

The Qingyuan Urban Management Company was cleaned up, all violators were dealt with, and some of the company's business was readjusted.

Li Fei also made a plan for Liu Saner for the next three years.

He provided Chen Lixin with business advice and determined relevant matters regarding Feixin Trading Company.

Finally, it’s about the Marquis’ Mansion recruiting people.

When the news spread that Li Fei had officially started to build his mansion in Xingcheng, many people from the martial arts world came here to join Li Fei.

A marquisate means a large amount of martial arts resources and opportunities for advancement, so those people in the martial arts world who think they have talent but lack resources come to join.

Marquis Li Fei can purchase a certain amount of martial arts resources from the imperial court every year: elixirs, implants, protective clothing, special weapons and martial arts.

He naturally cannot use all of them by himself, so these resources are used to train manpower.

Within seven days, more than thirty wandering cultivators came to offer their services.

Li Fei did not accept all the information, but asked people from the Supervisory Office to investigate the background of these people.

What he wants are subordinates with clean background and good character.

After the Supervisory Office checked the past of these people, he also used the "Dream Gate" to explore the hearts of these people again through their subconscious in the dream world to confirm that there were no major problems with their character.

In the end, out of more than thirty independent cultivators, Li Fei only accepted nineteen.

Among the remaining people, three were found out by the Supervisory Commission because they were involved in murder cases and were arrested on the spot.

He failed to enter the mansion and was sent to prison first.
Among the nineteen people he accepted, fifteen were only warriors in the Body Breaking Stage, and there were only four martial artists in the Qi Transformation Stage, and none of them had developed strong strength.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Those who can reach the middle stage of Qi transformation or above and become martial arts masters will never lack for recruitment by major forces.

You can find a good way out no matter where you go.

So it is difficult for Li Fei to recruit experts.

Of course, now is the 'early stage of entrepreneurship', and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When Hou Mansion grows bigger, it will always attract experts.

If it really doesn't work, you can spend a lot of money to attract a few people in the Dao Foundation Stage.

Li Fei is going to leave Xingcheng today, go to Datong Prefecture first, and then take the train directly to Gansu Province.

After all, he had the emperor's order and this trip was to investigate a case. If he stayed in Feng Province for too long, he would inevitably be criticized.

"My Lord, there is another person who has come to serve you. He is a martial arts master who practices martial arts, and he is very young."

Lu Wenxing suddenly walked into the lobby and said to Li Fei.

Li Fei was currently in a rented house, which was near the marquis' mansion he was building.

These days, whenever someone comes to apply for work, Li Fei conducts an "interview" here.

"Oh?"

Li Fei immediately perked up after hearing this, "Please ask him to come in."

Lu Wenxing quickly walked into the lobby with a young man wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a knife on his back.

Li Fei looked at the young man.

His appearance was not handsome, and there was still some childishness between his brows, but his eyes were very sharp, as if there was a knife hidden in them.

The young man was visibly nervous when he saw Li Fei:

"I, Xu Xiaotian, pay my respects to Marquis Jing'an!"

"No need to be polite, please sit down and have some tea."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Xu Xiaotian sat down somewhat stiffly, not daring to reach for the teacup beside him.

Li Fei looked at the other person. He was indeed visibly young, and there was a faint aura of strength in his body.

A genuine martial artist!
This made Li Fei look forward to it.

Although he did not hesitate at all when killing You Xiaofeng, he was actually short of manpower now.

Next, Qingyuan Urban Management Company will move out of Xingcheng, Qingmian Villa will unify the world of Datong Prefecture, and the Chen family's business will be expanded.

Manpower is needed everywhere, especially warriors and experts.

Don’t underestimate the fact that Li Fei now has people like Lu Wenxing working for him, including powerful Taoist masters and martial artists.

However, these people are currently officials of Zhige Pavilion and do not belong to his personal armed forces. They cannot be transferred at will, and it is impossible for them to stay in Feng Province to help him "build an empire."

"Introduce yourself."

Li Fei sat and waited for a while, and seeing Xu Xiaotian still sitting in his seat in a daze, he could only take the initiative to ask.

"Ow!"

Xu Xiaotian quickly stood up and bowed:

"My Lord, I am from Beixing Prefecture in Lin Province. I am 23 years old this year, at the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage, and I have already started the 'Reintegration' two years ago."

Li Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He started to "return to oneness" two years ago, which means he reached the peak of the Qi transformation period at the age of 21. He can definitely be considered a genius!
As for the next step of 'return to oneness', if the other party can complete it within seven years, he will be able to meet the standards of a genius as written in "The Theory of Geniuses"!

"Where did you learn from?"

Li Fei asked.

"My martial arts were taught by my master. My master's name is Ye Yu, nicknamed 'Tian Ye Ba Dao', and he is a famous hero in Lin Province!"

When Xu Xiaotian said this, his eyes suddenly turned red:

"A year ago, he was killed by thieves. I escaped from Lin Province and fled all the way to Feng Province. I came to serve you because you are the fastest warrior in the world to break through from the Qi Transformation Stage to the Dao Foundation Stage. I want to follow you in cultivation and break through to the Dao Foundation Stage as quickly as possible to avenge my master!"

Li Fei looked at the other person: "You are quite honest."

Xu Xiaotian gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and said to Li Fei:
"As long as the Marquis can teach me and let me take revenge, my life will be yours from now on!" He had a simple mind, but he never thought that if Li Fei really mastered some secret method, he could quickly complete the "return to oneness".

Such a secret method is so priceless that it cannot be described as inestimable! It is simply a priceless treasure!
This is something that no amount of lives can replace.

Li Fei shook his head, and Xu Xiaotian's heart suddenly sank.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that you can't learn my method of breaking through the realm."

Li Fei said.

Without Ten Thousand Blood Pearls and a vitality that was several times greater than that of warriors at the same level, no one in the world could replicate his "Return to Oneness Method".

Xu Xiaotian's eyes dimmed and he lowered his head.

"With your talent, even if you rely on yourself, you have a great chance of breaking through to the Dao Foundation Stage."

Li Fei said.

Xu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to break through quickly and then go back for revenge!"

His talent is indeed good, but Li Fei is the person who breaks through from the Qi Bian period to the Dao Ji period the fastest.

It must be unique!

So Xu Xiaotian wants to join Li Fei.

Thinking of this, Li Fei suddenly discovered that he had another extremely attractive point to the outside world.

Will there be many more martial artists like Xu Xiaotian who are stuck at the 'return to oneness' stage and come to join us?
Unfortunately, I can’t teach these people.

"I can't teach you to break through the realm as quickly as I did. Are you still willing to serve me?"

Li Fei asked.

Xu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and then made a decision:

"I am willing! Even if I cannot learn the methods of the Marquis, I believe that I can learn a lot from a peerless genius like you!"

"Okay, get up quickly."

Li Fei stepped forward and helped the other person up.

Next, according to the process, the Supervisory Commission will first investigate Xu Xiaotian's background and whether what he said is true.

Li Fei is now the Blue Patrol Special Envoy. He can find excuses to mobilize the power of the Supervisory Commission in any province in the world, and others are willing to give him this face.

So not long after, the Supervisory Office in Lin Province sent back Xu Xiaotian's message.

It was indeed as the other party said, he was the disciple of the hero Ye Yu, the 'Heavenly Leaf Tyrant Blade'.

Ye Yu is a martial artist at the Dao Foundation Stage, and one of the few independent cultivators in the martial arts world who has cultivated to the Dao Foundation Stage on his own.

This man was indeed a famous hero in Lin Province. He had done many chivalrous deeds and therefore offended many people.

Looking at the deeds of Ye Yu in the information, Li Fei seemed to see another Hao Yi.

It’s just that the other party doesn’t have as much ability as Hao Yi, nor does he act as radically as Hao Yi.

But more than a year ago, Ye Yu was suddenly killed, and the identity of his enemy remains unknown.

"Did your master let you leave Lin Province in advance? He was killed after you left."

After reading Xu Xiaotian's personal information, Li Fei started to ask him.

Because of his master Ye Yu, he has a better impression of Xu Xiaotian.

Xu Xiaotian: "Yes, Master must have foreseen that something bad would happen to me, so he asked me to leave early and gave me a death order that I was not allowed to return to Lin Province before I broke through to the Dao Foundation Stage!"

Li Fei nodded. No wonder the other party was so eager to break through.

But Ye Yu ordered Xu Xiaotian not to go back until he broke through to the Dao Foundation Stage. Perhaps he did not want Xu Xiaotian to go back for revenge after breaking through, but thought that it would take several years for Xu Xiaotian to successfully break through.

Perhaps by that time, Xu Xiaotian would no longer be in danger when he returned to Lin Province.

This was Ye Yu's painstaking effort, just like Hao Yi hoped that Li Fei would not be influenced by hatred and go his own way before leaving.

But if you don’t take some grudges and don’t do some things, it will be difficult to live happily in this life!

So Li Fei would not persuade Xu Xiaotian.

After reading Xu Xiaotian's information, he cast the 'Gate of Dreams' to enter the dream world and dive into Xu Xiaotian's subconscious world.

Xu Xiaotian is a warrior at the peak of the Qi transformation stage and has a strong will. Li Fei cannot complete a deep infiltration without alerting the other party.

Therefore, he just took a look at the surface of the other person's subconscious world and confirmed that the other person was a simple-minded person who was not so cunning.

So Li Fei decided to accept Xu Xiaotian and keep him by his side.

He really couldn't teach Xu Xiaotian his own way of cultivation, but with the inheritance he had mastered and his current realm, he was more than capable of guiding the other party in his cultivation.

That afternoon, Li Fei and everyone else left Xingcheng by car.

Two days later, the group arrived in Datong Prefecture, and then took He Jian and his team to Gan Province by train.

Li Fei was not in a hurry to re-examine Shangguan Xiao's case.

Firstly, his top priority now is to investigate the Temple of Heaven assassination case. It would definitely not be possible to ignore this case and investigate other cases first.

Secondly, Shangguan Xiao's case involved the Lu family and Xu Jing, who was already a grandmaster and principal. This was not a case that could be easily overturned.

Before leaving Datong Prefecture, Li Fei had a detailed discussion with Bian Jingru, and the two sides reached a consensus:
Datong Prefecture first began to secretly investigate the case, collect evidence, and make various preliminary preparations to "warm up" for the future retrial of the case.

After Li Fei finishes investigating the Temple of Heaven assassination case, the two sides will formally join forces to launch a counterattack against the provincial capital!

"Lu Wenzheng is definitely not someone who will sit and wait for death. Marquis Jing'an, please be careful!"

These were the words that Bian Jingru specifically told Li Fei before leaving.

"I will wait for him to come."

Li Fei said so and then got on the train.
